The Company's primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans. The Company also purchases and provides fee-based services for class action claims recoveries in the United States ("U.S.").

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PRA Group and other entities in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosures.

(3) Changes in expected recoveries

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025						2024
	Core		Insolvency		Total		Core		Insolvency		Total
Recoveries collected in excess of forecast	$	14,290	$	2,210	$	16,500	$	33,919	$	1,919	$	35,838
Changes in expected future recoveries	12,035		(613)		11,422		15,646		190		15,836
Changes in expected recoveries	$	26,325	$	1,597	$	27,922	$	49,565	$	2,109	$	51,674

Expected recoveries are calculated by applying discounted cash flow methodologies to estimated remaining collections ("ERC"), with income recognized over the estimated life of each pool at the constant effective interest rate. For additional information about these methodologies, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $27.9 million, which included $16.5 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast (cash collections overperformance) and $11.4 million in changes in expected future recoveries. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast were largely due to cash collections overperformance in Europe and Brazil, partially offset by underperformance in the Americas. Changes in expected future recoveries were primarily due to the impact of increases to the Company's collections forecasts on certain U.S. Core and European pools.

Changes in expected recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $51.7 million. This increase was primarily due to $35.8 million in recoveries collected in excess of forecast (cash collections overperformance), due largely to collections performance in the U.S., driven by the impact of the Company's cash-generating initiatives and supplemented by tax refund seasonality, as well as collections performance in Brazil and Europe. The changes in expected future recoveries of $15.8 million reflect the Company's assessment of certain pools in Europe, Brazil and the U.S., resulting in increases to the expected cash flows.

Note 9. Earnings per Share

The following tables provide a reconciliation between basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025					2024
	Net Income Attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS		Net Income Attributable to PRA Group, Inc.		Weighted Average Common Shares	EPS
Basic EPS	$	3,659	39,549	$	0.09	$	3,475	39,274	$	0.09

Share-based awards that are contingent upon the attainment of performance goals are included in the computation of diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Forward flow agreements;

The Company enters into forward flow agreements for the purchase of nonperforming loans. These agreements typically have terms ranging from six to 12 months, or they can be open-ended, and establish purchase prices and specific criteria for the accounts to be purchased. Some of the agreements establish a volume reference for the contract term in the form of a target or maximum, however, very few agreements establish a minimum contractual obligation, and many of the contracts contain early termination provisions allowing either party to cancel the agreements in accordance with a specified notice period. The amounts purchased are also dependent on actual delivery by the sellers, and while purchases under these agreements comprise a significant portion of the Company's overall purchases, as of March 31, 2025, the estimated minimum contractual purchase obligation under forward flow agreements was not significant.

Litigation and regulatory matters:

The Company and its subsidiaries are from time-to-time subject to a variety of legal and regulatory claims, inquiries and proceedings and regulatory matters, including those described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K. The Company accrues for potential liability arising from legal proceedings and regulatory matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These estimates involve significant judgment, and accordingly, the Company's estimates will change from time-to-time, and actual losses could exceed the current estimates. As of March 31, 2025, there were no material developments in any of the previously disclosed legal proceedings.

Note 12. Segments

The Company has determined that it is managed on a consolidated basis under a single operating segment, Accounts Receivable Management ("ARM"), and accordingly, it has one reportable segment. The ARM segment is comprised of the Company's primary business, Debt Buying and Collection ("DBC"), which generates revenue through the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans, and Claims Compensation Bureau, LLC ("CCB"), which generates revenue through the purchase of, and provision of fee-based services for, class action claims recoveries in the U.S. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Company’s chief executive officer, who assesses performance based on the Company's consolidated results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Segment revenue, significant segment expenses and profit or loss

ARM segment revenue is presented in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements under Total revenues. Significant segment expenses regularly considered by the CODM are those most directly related to the Company's revenue generating activities, including Compensation and benefits, Legal collection costs, Legal collection fees, Agency fees, Professional and outside services and Communication. All other operating expenses appearing in the Consolidated Income Statements constitute other segment items. ARM segment profit or loss is presented in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements under Net Income/(loss) attributable to PRA Group, Inc.

Segment assets

ARM segment assets are presented in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets under Total assets.

Other significant segment items

Other significant segment items not presented in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements or Consolidated Balance Sheets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Interest expense	$	63,394	$	54,359

Note 13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted:

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires enhanced annual disclosures with respect to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 provides guidance that will expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact these ASUs will have on its disclosures.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

On January 2, 2025, the Company exercised its right to sell its remaining 11.7% interest in RCB. The sale was completed in April 2025, and based on the foreign exchange rate in April, the Company estimates that it will record a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $38.0 million in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a global financial services company with operations in the Americas, Europe and Australia. Our primary business is the purchase, collection and management of portfolios of nonperforming loans.

Q1 2025 overview

•Portfolio purchases of $291.7 million, an increase of 18.7% compared to Q1 2024.

•ERC of $7.8 billion as of March 31, 2025, increases of 4.6% compared to December 31, 2024 and 20.1% compared to March 31, 2024.

•Cash collections of $497.4 million, an increase of 10.7% compared to Q1 2024.

•Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. of $3.7 million, an increase of 5.3% compared to Q1 2024.

•Diluted earnings per share of $0.09, unchanged from Q1 2024.

With continued focus on disciplined buying, higher cash generation and cost management, the first quarter of 2025 reflected significant growth in portfolio purchases, double-digit cash collections growth and attainment of record ERC. Cash collections overperformance in our European and South American businesses was partially offset by collections underperformance in the U.S., and combined with a moderated level of Changes in expected recoveries, Q1 2025 net income was lower compared to recent quarters. Similar to previous quarters, approximately half of our Q1 2025 cash collections were generated from outside the U.S., and we believe that a key part of the resiliency of our business continues to be our global diversification.

U.S.

In the U.S., we purchased $161.0 million of portfolios during Q1 2025, and we expect portfolio supply to remain at elevated levels in 2025. U.S. Core cash collections increased 19.7% to $240.5 million in Q1 2025, driven by higher recent purchasing levels and the impact of our cash-generating initiatives, but were below our expectations. We remain focused on reducing cycle times and optimizing post-judgment activities in our legal collections channel, and together with higher recent purchasing levels, these actions helped drive U.S. legal collections of $111.2 million, a 32.6% increase compared to Q1 2024.

In our U.S. non-legal operations, we enhanced our customer reach and engagement, implemented new dialer strategies, improved offer strategies to accommodate customer needs and experienced a significant increase in our digital interactions. Additionally, we completed the consolidation of three of our U.S. call centers in May, retaining more of our tenured collectors than anticipated under our work from home program.

Europe

In Europe, we purchased $113.2 million of portfolios during Q1 2025, an increase of $64.2 million compared to Q1 2024, due in part to a large spot purchase, and we expect relatively stable portfolio supply for the remainder of the year. Cash collections in Europe overperformed our expectations, increasing 10.8% to $185.6 million in Q1 2025.

Brazil

In April 2025, we completed the sale of our remaining 11.7% interest in RCB Investimentos S.A. ("RCB"), a servicing company for nonperforming loans in Brazil. The estimated pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $38.0 million, based on the foreign exchange rate in April, will be reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the second quarter of 2025, and the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. This transaction did not impact our majority ownership interests in the Brazilian investment funds through which we make our investments, and we expect to continue making portfolio investments in Brazil through our ongoing relationships with RCB and other long-term partners.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 2025 ("First Quarter 2025" or "Q1 2025") compared to three months ended March 31, 2024 ("First Quarter 2024" or "Q1 2024").

Americas and Australia Core	$	165,503	$	174,660	$	(9,157)	(5.2)	%
Americas Insolvency	12,953		22,156		(9,203)		(41.5)
Total Americas and Australia	178,456		196,816		(18,360)		(9.3)
Europe Core	108,390		43,997		64,393		146.4

Total portfolio purchases	$	291,702	$	245,817	$	45,885	18.7	%

Total portfolio purchases were $291.7 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $45.9 million, or 18.7%, compared to $245.8 million in Q1 2024. The increase in Europe portfolio purchases of $64.2 million was partially offset by the decrease in Americas and Australia purchases of $18.4 million. Our portfolio purchases reflect our global framework that seeks to optimize our deployment of capital to achieve appropriate returns and take advantage of opportunities in our markets.

Cash collections

Cash collections were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2025		2024		$ Change		% Change
Americas and Australia Core	$	288,160	$	256,861	$	31,299	12.2	%
Americas Insolvency	23,700		25,209		(1,509)		(6.0)
Total Americas and Australia	311,860		282,070		29,790		10.6
Europe Core	164,371		145,933		18,438		12.6
Europe Insolvency	21,205		21,515		(310)		(1.4)
Total Europe	185,576		167,448		18,128		10.8
Total cash collections	$	497,436	$	449,518	$	47,918	10.7	%

Total cash collections were $497.4 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $47.9 million, or 10.7%, compared to $449.5 million in Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in U.S. Core cash collections of $39.6 million, mainly due to higher volumes in our legal collections channel, as well as an increase in collections from our non-legal channels due to higher recent purchasing levels. In Europe, higher recent purchasing levels helped drive increased cash collections of $18.1 million, spread broadly across most of our markets. These increases were partially offset by a $10.6 million decrease in cash collections in Brazil, due in large part to variation in the foreign exchange rate and lower recent purchasing levels.

Portfolio revenue

Portfolio revenue was as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2025		2024		$ Change		% Change
Portfolio income	$	240,958	$	202,056	$	38,902	19.3	%
Recoveries collected in excess of forecast	16,500		35,838		(19,338)		(54.0)
Changes in expected future recoveries	11,422		15,836		(4,414)		(27.9)
Changes in expected recoveries	27,922		51,674		(23,752)		(46.0)
Total portfolio revenue	$	268,880	$	253,730	$	15,150	6.0	%

Total portfolio revenue was $268.9 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $15.2 million, or 6.0%, compared to $253.7 million in Q1 2024. Portfolio income increased $38.9 million, or 19.3%, driven largely by the impact of higher purchasing and improved pricing in the U.S. beginning in 2023, while changes in expected recoveries decreased $23.8 million. Recoveries collected in excess of forecast decreased $19.3 million due primarily to cash collections underperformance on our 2019-2023 U.S. Core pools in Q1 2025, compared to overperformance on most U.S. Core pools in Q1 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher cash collections overperformance on our European pools. Changes in expected future recoveries decreased $4.4 million due largely to a lower net increase in the collections forecast on our Americas pools compared to Q1 2024.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses were as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2025		2024		$ Change		% Change
Compensation and benefits	$	73,323	$	73,597	$	(274)	(0.4)	%

Total operating expenses	$	195,042	$	189,190	$	5,852	3.1	%

Legal collection costs

Legal collection costs consist primarily of costs paid to courts where a lawsuit is filed for the purpose of attempting to collect on an account. Q1 2025 costs increased $6.7 million, or 25.1%, compared to Q1 2024, primarily due to increased activity in our U.S. legal collections channel.

Legal collection fees

Legal collection fees represent contingent fees incurred for cash collections generated by our third-party attorney network. Q1 2025 fees increased $3.1 million, or 25.7%, compared to Q1 2024, mainly reflecting higher external legal collections within our U.S. Core portfolio.

Agency fees

Agency fees primarily represent third-party collection fees. Q1 2025 fees increased $1.6 million, or 8.3%, compared to Q1 2024, mainly due to higher fees paid to third-party debt collection agencies in the U.S.

Professional and outside services

Professional and outside services expense reflects amounts paid to third-party service providers and certain legal-related costs. Q1 2025 expense decreased $3.9 million, or 15.8%, compared to Q1 2024, mainly reflecting lower legal accruals and consulting fees in the U.S., partially offset by higher outsourcing and offshoring expenses in the U.S.

Communication

Communication expense relates mainly to correspondence, network and calling costs associated with our collection efforts. Q1 2025 expense decreased $2.1 million, or 16.7%, compared to Q1 2024, primarily due to a mix of lower-cost communications strategies utilized in our U.S. business in Q1 2025.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2025		2024		$ Change		% Change
Interest on revolving credit facilities and term loan, and unused line fees	$	36,582	$	33,956	$	2,626	7.7	%
Interest on senior notes	24,911		18,203		6,708		36.9
Amortization of debt premium and issuance costs, net	1,901		2,200		(299)		(13.6)
Interest income	(2,424)		(2,081)		(343)		16.5
Interest expense, net	$	60,970	$	52,278	$	8,692	16.6	%

Interest expense, net was $61.0 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $8.7 million, or 16.6%, compared to Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to a higher average debt balance in the current year period to support higher levels of portfolio investments.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2025			2024			$ Change		% Change
Income tax expense	$	4,312		$	2,386		$	1,926	80.7	%
Effective tax rate	32.2		%	16.9		%

Income tax expense was $4.3 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $1.9 million, or 80.7%, compared to Q1 2024. The effective tax rate in Q1 2025 was 32.2% compared to 16.9% in Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to changes in the mix of income from different taxing jurisdictions and the timing and amount of discrete items.

Balance sheet

Finance receivables, net

Finance receivables, net were $4.3 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $167.6 million, or 4.0%, compared to $4.1 billion as of December 31, 2024, driven largely by portfolio acquisitions of $291.7 million and foreign currency translation adjustments of $113.1 million, partially offset by recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net of $265.1 million.

Goodwill

Goodwill was $420.7 million as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $24.3 million, or 6.1%, compared to $396.4 million as of December 31, 2024, due to foreign currency translation adjustments. As of March 31, 2025, goodwill consists primarily of $393.8 million in our Debt Buying and Collection ("DBC") reporting unit. We performed our most recent annual impairment review of the DBC reporting unit as of October 1, 2024, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As of March 31, 2025, our quarterly assessment did not identify the occurrence of any triggering events, and we determined our goodwill was not more-likely-than-not impaired. However, consistent with our most recent annual review, the DBC reporting unit may be at-risk for future impairment if our cash flow projections are not met or if market factors utilized in the impairment test were to deteriorate, including adverse changes in the debt sales market that impact our estimated purchasing volumes and purchase price multiples, an increase in the discount rate, or a sustained decline in our stock price.

Borrowings

Borrowings were $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of $139.5 million, or 4.2%, compared to $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to incremental net borrowings under our North American and European revolving credit facilities of $102.0 million and $59.4 million, respectively, offset by net payments of $20.1 million on our United Kingdom ("UK") revolving credit facility.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, our management also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including:

•Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our performance and to set performance goals; and

•ROATE, as a measure to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to our equity.

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operational and financial performance. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA helps provide enhanced period-to-period comparability of our operational and financial performance, as it excludes certain items whose fluctuations from period-to-period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of our business, and is useful to investors as other companies in the industry report similar financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated starting with our GAAP financial measure, Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. and is adjusted for:

•income tax expense (or less income tax benefit);

•foreign exchange loss (or less foreign exchange gain);

•interest expense, net (or less interest income, net);

•other expense (or less other income);

•depreciation and amortization;

•impairment of real estate;

•net income attributable to noncontrolling interests; and

•recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net less Changes in expected recoveries.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands):

(1)Other expense reflects non-operating activities.

Return on average tangible equity

We use ROATE, which is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, to monitor and evaluate operating performance relative to our equity. Management believes ROATE is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating the effective use of equity, and is an important component of our long-term shareholder return. Average tangible equity is defined as average Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. less average goodwill and average other intangible assets. ROATE is calculated by dividing Net income attributable to PRA Group, Inc. by average tangible equity.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Total stockholders' equity - PRA Group, Inc. as reported in accordance with GAAP to average tangible equity and displays our ROATE for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for ratio data):

SUPPLEMENTAL PERFORMANCE DATA

The tables in this section provide supplemental performance data about our:

•ERC by geography, portfolio type and expected year of collection;

•Core cash collections separated between call center and other collections and legal collections, and constant currency adjusted cash collections;

•nonperforming loan portfolios and collections by geography, portfolio type and year of purchase; and

•U.S. portfolio purchases by major asset type and delinquency category.

The collections data presented reflects gross cash collections and does not reflect any costs to collect; therefore, it may not present relative profitability. The past performance of pools within certain geographies and portfolio types may not be comparable with other locations and portfolio types or indicative of future results. Customer payment patterns in all of the countries in which we operate can be affected by various factors, including general business and economic conditions, seasonal employment trends, income tax refunds and holiday spending habits.

Purchasing

We purchase portfolios of nonperforming loans from a variety of creditors, or acquire portfolios through strategic acquisitions, and segregate them into our Core or Insolvency portfolios, based on the status of the account upon acquisition. In addition, the accounts are segregated into geographical regions based upon where the account was acquired and, as applicable, foreign currency exchange rates are fixed for purposes of comparability in future periods. Ultimately, accounts are aggregated into annual pools based on portfolio type, geography and year of acquisition. Portfolios of accounts that were in an insolvency status at the time of acquisition are represented under Insolvency headings in the tables below. All other acquisitions of portfolios of accounts are included under Core headings. Once an account is initially segregated, it is not later transferred from an Insolvency pool to a Core pool, or vice versa.

Purchase price multiple

The purchase price multiple represents our estimate of total cash collections over the original purchase price of the portfolio. Purchase price multiples can vary over time due to a variety of factors, including pricing competition, supply levels, age of the accounts acquired, type and mix of portfolios purchased, expected costs to collect and returns, and changes in operational efficiency and effectiveness. When we pay more for a portfolio, the purchase price multiple and effective interest rate are generally lower. Certain types of accounts, such as Insolvency accounts, have lower collection costs, and we generally pay more for those types of accounts, which results in lower purchase price multiples but similar net income margins compared to other portfolio purchases.

ERC and TEC

Depending on the level of performance and expected future impacts from our operations, we may update ERC and TEC levels based on the results of our cash forecasting with a correlating adjustment to the purchase price multiple. We follow an established process to evaluate ERC, and we typically do not adjust our ERC and TEC until we gain sufficient collection experience with a pool of accounts. Over time, our TEC has often increased as pools have aged resulting in the ratio of TEC to purchase price for any given year of buying to gradually increase.

For additional information about our nonperforming loan portfolios, refer to Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

(1)Available borrowings after calculation of borrowing base, subject to the committed amounts and debt covenants, which may be used for general corporate purposes, including portfolio purchases.

(2)Subject to borrowing base and debt covenants, including advance rates ranging from 35-55% of applicable ERC.

Interest-bearing deposits

As of March 31, 2025, interest-bearing deposits totaled $187.7 million. Under our European revolving credit facility, our interest-bearing deposit funding is limited to SEK 2.2 billion (the equivalent of $219.3 million in U.S. dollars as of March 31, 2025).

Uses of liquidity and material cash requirements

We believe that funds generated from our business activities, together with existing cash, available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to the capital markets, will be sufficient to finance our operations, planned capital expenditures, forward flow purchase commitments, debt maturities and additional portfolio purchases for at least the next 12 months. Our long-term capital requirements will depend in large part on the level of nonperforming loan portfolios that we purchase.

Market conditions permitting, as we deem appropriate, we may seek to access the debt or equity capital markets or other sources of funding, and it may be necessary to raise additional funds to achieve our business objectives. Business acquisitions or higher than expected levels of portfolio purchasing could require additional financing. We may also from time-to-time repurchase senior notes in the open market or otherwise. We also have the ability to slow the purchase of nonperforming loans without significantly impacting current year collections.

Forward flows

We enter into forward flow agreements for the purchase of nonperforming loans. These agreements typically have terms ranging from six to 12 months, or they can be open-ended, and establish purchase prices and specific criteria for the accounts to be purchased. Some of the agreements establish a volume reference for the contract term in the form of a target or maximum, however, very few agreements establish a minimum contractual obligation, and many of the contracts contain early termination provisions allowing either party to cancel the agreements in accordance with a specified notice period.

As of March 31, 2025, we had forward flow agreements in place with an estimated purchase price of approximately $347.0 million over the next 12 months. This total can vary significantly based on the remaining terms and renewal dates of the agreements and is comprised of $258.0 million for the Americas and Australia and $89.0 million for Europe. These amounts represent our estimated forward flow purchases over the next 12 months under the agreements in place based on projections and

other factors, including sellers' estimates of future forward flow sales, and are dependent on actual delivery by the sellers and, in some cases, the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Accordingly, amounts purchased under these agreements may vary significantly. In addition to these agreements, we may also enter into new or renewed forward flow commitments and/or close on spot purchase transactions.

Borrowings

As of March 31, 2025, we had $3.5 billion in outstanding borrowings. The estimated interest, unused fees and principal payments for the next 12 months are $240.3 million, of which $10.0 million relates to principal on our term loan. After 12 months, principal payments on our debt are due from between one and five years. Many of our financing arrangements include covenants with which we must comply, and as of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with these covenants.

For additional information about our borrowings, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Share repurchases

On February 25, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The share repurchase program has no stated expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any specified amount of shares, remains subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and, subject to compliance with applicable laws, may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Repurchases may be made from time-to-time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, in block transactions, through purchases made in accordance with trading plans adopted under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or other methods, subject to market and/or other conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. There were no repurchases during the first quarter of 2025, and as of March 31, 2025, we had $67.7 million remaining for share repurchases under the program. Repurchases are also subject to restrictive covenants contained in our credit facilities and the indentures that govern our senior notes.

Leases

Our leases have remaining terms from one to 8 years. As of March 31, 2025, we had $30.9 million in lease liabilities, of which $7.8 million is due within the next 12 months. For additional information, refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Derivatives

We enter into derivative financial instruments to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt and foreign currency exchange rates. As of March 31, 2025, we had $5.9 million of derivative liabilities, of which $0.2 million matures within the next 12 months. The remaining $5.7 million matures in 2028. For additional information, refer to Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Investments

As of March 31, 2025, we held $60.7 million in Swedish treasury securities to meet the liquidity requirements of the Swedish Financial Services Authority for our banking subsidiary, AK Nordic AB.

Cash flow analysis

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	First Quarter
	2025		2024		$ Change
Net cash provided by/(used in):
Operating activities	$	(52,580)	$	(72,999)	$	20,419
Investing activities	(24,385)		15,211		(39,596)
Financing activities	85,630		52,822		32,808
Effect of foreign exchange rates	14,216		861		13,355
Net increase/(decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	22,881	$	(4,105)	$	26,986

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities mainly reflects the portion of our cash collections recognized as revenue and cash paid for operating expenses, interest and income taxes. It does not include cash collections applied to the negative allowance, which are classified as cash flows provided by investing activities. Net cash used in operating activities decreased $20.4 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher cash collections recognized as income and a lower impact from foreign currency transactions, partially offset by higher cash paid for operating expenses and interest.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $39.6 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $43.8 million in purchases of nonperforming loan portfolios and an $8.9 million decrease in net cash flows from purchases and disposals of investments, partially offset by an increase of $13.5 million in recoveries collected and applied to Finance receivables, net.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $32.8 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to a $24.2 million increase in net proceeds from lines of credit, $4.1 million decrease in distributions to noncontrolling interests and $3.2 million increase in interest-bearing deposits.

Effect of foreign exchange rates

The net effect of exchange rates on cash increased $13.4 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the impact of U.S. dollar devaluation in Q1 2025 on our foreign currency denominated borrowings and intercompany balances.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of our significant accounting policies require that we use estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. We consider accounting estimates to be critical if they (1) involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and (2) have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We base our estimates on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements may be material.

Our critical accounting estimates include revenue recognition on finance receivables, goodwill and income taxes. For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
